need help "Master Diesel Certication" verfied by TDR

I need some help.

I want to come up with a diesel test that when completed and the test taker completes and scores a 100 you could recieve a nice TDR diesel certificate that you can have framed tohang on the wall. My motivation is I am tired of people telling me all kind of gargabe that they know about "diesels". What this tool can do is to educate, bring interest to the TDR and tell people if they want to find out how much they know or dont knoe about diesels. All they will have to do is to log on and take the diesel certification test. The test would not be timed and you can search as long as it takes to pass the test. The only problem we would have is that a cheat sheet could generated to pass the test without having to actually search and find the answers to the test. The test would have to be put into a matrix so that everytime you tried to take it you would not be taking the same one everytime. I dont know about you but I would like to have some kind of certification to qualify myself when I hear the comment like "ford owns cummings". Having this credintial i could say "really thats not true and you (being the uneducated diesel combatant) should try to pass the TDR diesel cetification". The test could be used on other "good diesel sites" and you could also chose whether you want a brand specific or an all diesel test. All meaning Duramax,powerstoke,cummins. Tell me what you think and how you would structure such a test and what questions you think should be on the test. Here are a few of mine and when I think of more I will post them. Also, any questions you think should be on the test please post them. I contacted the TDR today and let them know that I was doing this so if we have enough interest maybe we can make something happen. Here we go, this should be fun. Multiple choice, fill in the blank, calculations anything is possible. We could have different sections technical historical, general etc (If you post a question in this thread you are giving me the right to us it in a test)

1.does ford own cummins
2.Choose the correct spelling. a.cummins b.cummings c.kummins
3.what was the founder of cummins first name..multiple choice(MC)
4.what does vgt stand for
5. what years of the powerstroke used powder metal rods..MC
6.what does huei stand for
7.what years used the vp44..mc
8.when did the p7100 pump change to the vp44
9.what is a dual mass flywheel..mc
10.what does hpcr stand for
11.who manufature the fuel sytems for dodge and GM
12.what are three ways to get more power out of a hpcr diesel engine
13.why are diesels more efficiet than gasoline engines
I have alot more when time permits

PS I am not proffesing to know it all b/c I dont know much but I would love to take a test like this and pass to recieve a certificate. I would be willing to pay $10 for the paper work and a cool bumper sticker.

If you think its a bad idea let me know this also.
